#their friendship survived only because Cisco had enough compassion to put himself in Barry's shoes and see the issue from his perspective

I will never understand why people hate Cisco because of that one time he got mad at Barry for indirectly causing his brother's death. First of all, that was a very short period of time, he forgave him VERY quickly, and that doesn't define his entire character or his entire relationship with Barry. And second, HIS BROTHER FUCKING DIED. Like, that's kind of a big deal. Does no one in this fandom have siblings??

#The Flash #Cisco Ramon #Barry Allen #Barrisco #and like I was annoyed with BOTH of them during that storyline! #still on both of their sides though! #I cannot honestly say that if I lost my parents and I had the ability to time travel that I wouldn't try to bring them back #or that I wouldn't be pissed as hell if I lost a sibling and my best friend who could time travel refused to bring them back #PLUS kind of got them killed in the first place #their friendship survived only because Cisco had enough compassion to put himself in Barry's shoes and see the issue from his perspective #Barry was too busy feeling guilty and trying to give Cisco space to bother trying to explain his side of the story #Cisco had to do the hard work of trying to understand Barry's side and then choosing to forgive him and let him be his friend again #that says SO MUCH MORE about who he is than a little grief induced passive aggressiveness does
